We are a nation of believers and despite being told that “I have no religious beliefs” those telling us what they do or don’t believe, pray to a God of their understanding, whatever it might be when the chips are down. Few want to be completely alone in times of strife.
Our forefathers were very secure in giving us freedom of religion. However, freedom of religion does not give us freedom from religion. Our Constitution built on the tenets of the Judeo-Christian ethic requires fealty to all it encompasses. We allow those who will not pledge allegiance to government oaths using the Judeo-Christian Bible to use the Koran. We allow all religions provided they compute with our Constitution. We do not allow interference in the practice of any religious belief. The only caveat is that the practice of such beliefs not attempt to subvert the Constitution.
Our nation, built on immigration has given many from nominally Muslim nations the ability to become “Americans” where we respect everyone’s beliefs. We are now fighting a war of religious wills, where the Christians are being forced to defend their beliefs, not only in the streets, but the courts and in the legislatures from small communities to the state houses.
While many religious sects obligate their adherents to pray multiple times a day, we in America have by our historical nature allowed for praying either in a secluded area or in a designated religious house of worship. Those who come from Muslim dominated nations are called to prayer and by custom stop what the are doing and comply with their obligations. This practice, once mostly unknown, is now being done en-masse in American cities. While considered a religious rite, is now considered a political act, meant to show force of numbers and religious intent.
We have, by knowing what is being taught in the Muslim religious schools by the content of the homilies by the Mullahs all over the country, the full intent by the Muslims that a theocratic political entity has subverted their religion to promote its domination and insularity at the exclusion of all other religious beliefs. We now see street signs in Arabic, call to Muslim prayer 5 times a day in all Muslim politically dominated cities. We are forced to add prayer rooms in public schools and foot washing stations in the schools as well.
While we as Americans, have over time, given all nations a share of American culture to help other nationals to accept American customs, we cannot, by the mandate of our Constitution, violate all for which it stands.
We allow for all religions to “freely” worship. Freely worshiping by stopping traffic to accommodate a religious tenet, denies the freedom of others not to participate and in fact the right to deny the beliefs of others, so long as they do not actively prevent the religious practice.
Unfortunately the leftist political activists have encouraged the Muslims to increase their activities and this act has only set on edge the obligation of the religious to adhere to what the Constitution requires. Politicizing religious practice is a dangerous road to travel and should the Muslims believe they have a mandate to convert the country by adhering to the Koranic tenets, they violate the law at its most basic level.
We cannot have a whole group who would live insular, separate lives, having adherence to a foreign document and looking to overthrow our present beliefs. We cannot accept any explanation that they live by religious principles only as we have seen too much over time where this has not been the case.
We must think of sedition or in the worst case treason as we see a greater intent of mandating the Muslim society on a nation that denies this as a basic tenet. I would like to think that the Muslims as a group would see America as a religiously equal nation, but this is not the case. We cannot allow our Constitution to be challenged by numbers attempting to overcome our 250 years of equality, freedom and independence.
I fear for the nation. I worry that we have allowed the culture to be hijacked by postmodern “all things are equal” nonsense.
We have lost our vision, our desire and our ability to sacrifice. We demand equity and not hard work. We must return to where our conscience relies on our ability to find an inner strength given us by a higher power.

After much discussion and evidence of how the Muslin communities across America have been able to achieve land and resources to expand their Sharia Law which is their idea to form their religious rights. They will continue to move into positions of legal authority and demand our Constitution to be dismantled.
Not only do they tend to practice what they desire but to speak out against our constitution and the laws that were founded on a Judeo-Christian religion. We the American Christians are under attack with the radical Islamic movement to destroy us within our own rights. They are not stopping anything soon.
This radical Islamic movement will never stop. So I see that there has been land approved in West Delray Beach for a massive Islamic Center Development, VPK -12 school project. Now this should be very concerning and disturbing to the people Palm Beach County residents and others. Where is the outrage on this group known as radical Islamic terrorist in Florida? Their lives and their words have and still are committed to destroy the western civilization.
Dr. Pitz is prescient when he says, “We have lost our vision, our desire and our ability to sacrifice. We demand equity and not hard work. We must return to where our conscience relies on our ability to find an inner strength given us by a higher power.”
Know that there is actually no EQUITY to be had, given God has made us all to be individuals. The fact that we each have unique fingerprints and eye patterns, among all of mankind in all of history, identical twins included, who have ever been born, is testimony to that and to God’s perfect omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience, as He created us all in His image and that uniqueness. Equity is only possible under the law when and because there is a Constitutional Republic as it’s foundation, supported by the bedrock of our Constitution, which explicitly explains that all of us are equal under the law and only under the law, just as we find these truths are self-evident! Equity is a word whose definition has been manipulated and altered for the sake of those who choose to rule others, not those citizens for whom the Constitution was constructed. Our Constitution holds these truths to be self evident, among which are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. People have the lawful right to worship. They do not have the right to replace or remove our laws because of what they claim their religion does or does not support, or which is contrary to the tenets of their faith. America is a free nation, the lone nation of liberty, that does not condone or accept any limitations to our founding principles, including those imposed by any religion that does not accept or agree with our Constitution.
